Joe Rogans thing being a monkey is very apropos, I doubt he has the capacity left for higher order thinking
slow trigger
Is this the consensus in the usa already? Just curious cause I'm not from there, and everywhere I look online this is the consensus (in my bubble at least).
Edit: I know the media doesn't admit stuff like this, but I mean consensus in like the general feeling of talking to people in real life about this war.
Pretty much everyone I know (bar for those few still religiously devoted to doing their best impression of a boot polish sommelier) seems to be on the same page about how nearly everything Trump does is a distraction from the files, and that’s been the consensus for months now, even before the Iran War.
That said, I run in very different circles than those who make up the loyal core of MAGA, and I’ve learned to never doubt my countrymen’s ability to achieve new and rarified heights of stupidity and cognitive dissonance. I also never felt like most people even tolerated the idea of Donald Trump, and that led to an extremely unpleasant surprise in the wake of the 2024 election, so my social circle probably isn’t a particularly representative cross-section.
He's not wrong.
Hate it when I agree with Joe
Get ready for the next distraction
Its never too late to be ~~captain~~ err cadet private obvious.
Washington regime going on raid and falling on their face.
Say it ain’t so Joe! /s
Did it work?
Nope
Well good then.
oh, I mean, it dipped way down in the news for a few cycles, but people were still talking about it, and now it's popped back into the news, especially since former AG Pam Bondi has, since getting fired, has decided that she can now ignore her Congressional subpoena to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding her fuckup with the release of the Epstein files.
This is very transparently evasion and contempt of congress (a crime). How congress decides to proceed from here is anyone's guess.
You don’t say
Who TF is Joe Rogan?
Former MMA fighter turned most popular podcaster in the country, turned maga tool. He used to be a bernie supporter I hear. Had him on his show just last year. But also pretended to believe the president even when he did that. It's all in bad faith, he's a cynical piece of shit.
shocked shocked i tell you
And in other breaking news: cold water brrr, hot water ouch.
Agreed
He might be a human sack of human shit but i do wish people would get back to talking about the epstein files. We cant just let these dick heads get away with it.
